I still have the magazine that announced in order to make in time for release Shenmue was split in half into two games but was largely finished. So Shenmue II was originally not Shenmue II at all but part of Shenmue 1. So in reality the first game was finished but a second developed game is only ha...

It's too early to panic but I knew the risks when I pledged. I am willing to take a chance though but Kickstarter games seem to have more failures than successes.

I think Crash Bandicoot has the same issue. When the N-Sane trilogy was revealed there was a lot of discussion about how he looks. It felt off for many fans but to keep up with the technological changes his appearance had to alter somewhat and for so many years everyone developed their own ideal ver...

I am really hoping for some Shenmue news this year whether it's about Shenmue 3 or the rumoured remaster of the original. If a remaster is announced I look forward to seeing the new textures. Even during the time of it's release, the original's textures were sometimes really bland and stretched out....

A week and a half for the next kickstarter update, maybe they say something about if they are going to show a trailer at E3 although it could be a suprise...time goes on so slowly... ](*,) Cedric said in French that they hope they'll have a great trailer for us soon so if it's not part of the kicks...

I know it won't match the timeline but with the power of technology today you should be able to play the original Shenmue on a Dreamcast in Shenmue 3.

I'm hoping Shenmue 3 actually does get mentioned. If it doesn't, should we start to worry? I am thinking that even if gameplay is not ready, even some teaser trailer or another concept trailer would be better than nothing. It would be a shame if this game entered development hell but to be honest, ...

I need Shenmue things to do. So far I got: Dobuita Street Buy a gatchapon Buy ice coffee at a vending machine or Cola Visit the gaudy jacket shops Any other ideas? No, I'm not going to ask for sailors. I also hear there are cultural tensions, I spoke to a former navy man that told me there are signs...

I'm so glad I didn't know about this before the Shenmue III announcement, the wait would have been more unbearable. I guess it reminds me of Final Fantasy VIII, FF8 spoilers below Your enemy is Sorceress Edea, you fight her across like two discs and clash against her in epic battles in Deling city a...

What kind of shows are you looking for? I watch all my Japanese TV by following blogs like this one: http://youtubeowaraitv.blog32.fc2.com/ I can give you more specific recommendations if you tell me more about your tastes. If you don't care about the actual content and just want to constantly have...

Hi everyone, this is an urgent request. I got the JLPT5 exam on the 6th of December. I am good at the reading exercises and score well, however, I suck so bad at the listening. I booked all week off work next week to practice listening skills and I need material. Anime in general isn't good, there's...

I am shocked at how good that looks. For the budget they raised I expected that there have to be some compromises but the look of that game far exceeds my expectations. To me, graphics of that quality are going to make the world more immersive and atmospheric.

I was just thinking about that earlier. Relationships can fuck right off. Maybe later down the line that will be different. Marriage is a government social status and a pretty nasty ordeal that has nothing to do with love or your feelings, fuck that too. ^^ in bold just sums up my position. to clar...

I hope to have kids. If you don't then you always end up alone as your friends die off one by one and each time that happens you are reminded once more that the end is near. You might be somewhat lucky, you might be the first to die amongst your group of friends but then it's not so lucky when you c...
